Varied Vases Hello in Bermuda Bay

Fun, Fun, Fun!!!  That’s what I think when I look at this card.  I used the Varied Vases Bundle which are so gorgeous and super fun to play with different flower and vase combinations.  The color combo is one of my new favorites — Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay — it is so bright and cheery.  I layered the flower vase on circles and then on a lacy Pearlized Doily which I sponged the back side of the doily with Coastal Cabana — love the coordination.  I tied a little bow from 1/8″ Sheer Whisper White Ribbon and put it across the card between the circles and the doily.  Last I added a little Hello banner where I added two of the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

Animal Outing Rhinoceros

Animal Outing is one of the new stamp sets from the Annual Catalog and it has definitely been a popular one.  The set has a kangaroo, a giraffe and this rhinoceros along with some great little phrases.  This stamp set is part of a whole suite of fabulous products.  There is a coordinating set of framelits — that’s right, you don’t have to fussy cut around these adorable animals.  There is also a coordinating cardstock pack, leaf ribbon, frames elements (wood die cut embellishments) and of course designer paper.

For this card, I didn’t have the Animal Expedition designer paper yet so I used the Tranquil Textures designer paper.  I thought it coordinated very well – the blue background makes me think of footprints.  I used a simple layout to truly focus on the stamped image with the subtle backgrounds.

Lovely Lipstick Hello with Accented Blooms

Today I used lots of new product — Accented Blooms Stamp Set, Lovely Lipstick cardstock, ink and ribbon and Granny Apple Green cardstock and ink.  The Accented Blooms stamp set is so beautiful.  I used Stazon ink on Watercolor Paper to stamp the floral image and then you can use either an Aqua Painter or a Blender Pen to color the flowers  using the Lovely Lipstick ink.  Don’t you love that cardstock name — so much fun and the color is wonderful.  I colored the leaves with the Blender Pen and the Granny Apple Green ink (this is my favorite green color).
